Bovet 1822

The House of BOVET
The year 2006 was filled with positive developments for BOVET 1822. Within a few months, Pascal Raffy successively added BOVET 1822 Manufacture de Cadrans, DIMIER 1738 Manufacture de Haute Horlogerie, as well as the Château de Môtiers to the House of BOVET.
These acquisitions ensured the complete independence of the House and positioned it to raise its quality standards even further. Collectors, specialists, and keen observers of the watch industry have ever since saluted the technical advancements introduced by BOVET, while remaining in complete harmony with the tradition of watchmaking arts that have made the House so successful for almost two centuries.

Historical Monument
The 5,800 square-metre Château de Môtiers is a listed historical monument affording exceptional views over the landscapes of the Val-de-Travers, including BOVET’s birthplace in the village of Fleurier. In 2006, the Neuchâtel state authorities were looking to sell this castle of which the upkeep was proving too expensive. Mr. Pascal Raffy was the only potential buyer in a position to ensure the long-term preservation of this unique heritage site so fondly cherished by the people of the Canton. He was thus able to acquire the Château de Môtiers, and in doing so to fulfil his dream of offering BOVET the opportunity of returning to its birthplace. An idyllic setting, it is no mere coincidence that Fleurier and the Val-de-Travers experienced the early 19th century boom in watchmaking activity that was to ensure the region’s prosperity for almost two centuries.

Historical Monument
The House of BOVET quickly became a reference in terms of the decorative arts. Indeed the Emperor of China was one of the earliest collectors, and today many BOVET timepieces remain part of the priceless heritage of the Forbidden City. The business activities of the House of BOVET had their beginnings in China with Edouard Bovet. At that time, they had the clear-sightedness to craft timepieces specifically for the Middle Empire, the fame of the “Bovets of China”, as they were then called, spread rapidly to other continents. The popularity enjoyed by Edouard Bovet and the legitimate place, which his creations now occupy in museums around the world.

Some timepieces to
discover

Bovet 1822 – Virtuoso AIT

  • Description
  • Technical Specifications

Well named, the Virtuoso tourbillon combines technicality and aesthetics with rare virtuosity. The caliber is integrated in a revisited Amadeo case, with a more sensual curve and a convertibility system with a pusher integrated into the crown, it displays, on the same axis, a jumping hour with instantaneous jump, retrograde minutes and a 5 days power reserve. The readability and finesse of the whole could make us forget the complexity of the construction. The tourbillon mechanism, which occupies the lower half of the dial, is characterized by a balance wheel with three blued masses – based on the aesthetics of the Rising Star tourbillon –, an escape wheel connected to its axis by two curved arms instead of four straight and a shank anchor inspired by those of the in-house pocket watches of the second half of the 19th century.

Thanks to its Amadeo system, the Virtuoso tourbillon presents a second face with reversed handing which displays the hours and minutes in the traditional way, with hands. The bridges around the dial are hand engraved, despite a limited surface by the skeletonized architecture of the movement.

Bovet 1822 – Virtuoso VII

  • Description
  • Technical Specifications

The Virtuoso VII features a retrograde perpetual calendar, an inverted hand-fitting, a patented double coaxial second hand, and a patented convertible case. The Virtuoso VII belongs to the Fleurier collection and comes with the iconic patented Amadeo® system that allows the timepiece to be converted into a table clock, a pocket watch, and a reversible wristwatch without the need for tools.⠀An unprecedented convergence of technical ingenuity drives the Virtuoso VII to deliver more information on both dials of the timepiece. For greater comfort and chronometry, the movement’s single barrel ensures over five days of power reserve.

The perfect technical expertise goes hand in hand with all the talent of the House of BOVET artisans. Every component, whether visible or invisible, is decorated using the traditional artisanal methods. The plate and bridges showing the functions of the perpetual calendar are fully hand-engraved with the iconic Fleurisanne pattern.

Bovet 1822 – Virtuoso V

  • Description
  • Technical Specifications

The Virtuoso V integrates two complications that are difficult to combine: jumping hours and retrograde minutes. The jump of the hour disk must be perfectly synchronized with the jump of the minute hand. A power reserve indicator completes the indications by displaying a remarkable autonomy of five days with a single barrel. To add to the timepiece’s functions, the watchmakers developed a corrector that is independent of the hour disk. It allows the Virtuoso V to display a different time zone on each side of the timepiece.

The Virtuoso V features the patented Amadéo® convertible case, which allows it to be transformed into a reversible wristwatch, a table clock, or a pocket watch, without the need for a single tool. As a result, hours and minutes can be found on both sides of the movement.

Bovet 1822 – Monsieur Bovet

  • Description
  • Technical Specifications

Versatile and elegant, the Amadéo Fleurier 43 Monsieur BOVET displays the hours and minutes on both front and back, as well as the seconds with a patented double coaxial display. The Monsieur BOVET features a seven-day power reserve and a frequency of 21,600 vph powered by a single barrel.

The iconic patented Amadéo® convertible system and the open dial invite the collector to explore the distinct structure and technicality of the movement. An off-centered dial at 12 o’clock houses the hour and minute hands. The various bridges present voluptuous shapes and the concentric curves of the dial.

Bovet 1822 – 19Thirty

  • Description
  • Technical Specifications

The 19Thirty collection stands out for its Fleurier case, a true symbol of two centuries of watchmaking excellence. It is immediately identifiable by its crown and bow situated at 12 o’clock in an acknowledgment to 19th-century pocket watches. In addition to hours and minutes, the 19Thirty timepiece displays the seconds at 6 o’clock in a perfect echo of 19th-century pocket watches. It has seven days of power reserve powered by a single barrel. The sapphire cabochon that ornaments the crown of the timepiece highlights its exceptional elegance.

The sapphire glass of the back of the case allows collectors to appreciate every detail of the movement.
By manufacturing all components (including the very sensitive tandem balance-spring), BOVET 1822 ensures extraordinary durability, chronometry, and reliability.

Bovet 1822 – 19thirty Meteorite NTT0011

  • Description
  • Technical Specifications

The ergonomic 42mm case in titanium provides optimal comfort no matter the size of the wearer’s wrist, thanks to its slim profile (9.05mm). The 19Thirty Collection was designed with everyday use in mind. The real sapphire cabochon that is inset into the crown further highlights its elegance.

In addition to clear and easily readable hours and minutes, these timepieces display the seconds at 6 o’clock in a perfect echo of 19th-century pocket watches. At the 3 o’clock position is the power reserve indicator, highlighting the incredible seven days of power reserve — this timepiece’s incredible energy efficiency is thanks to BOVET 1822’s legendary mastery of chronometry. In fact, the brand has a history of impressive power reserves — it holds the all-time record via a pocket watch produced at the dawn of the 20th century that had an amazing power reserve of 370 days.

Bovet 1822 – Aperto 1 yellow

  • Description
  • Technical Specifications

The BOVET APERTO 1 is a mechanical watchmaking masterpiece that redefines the traditional skeleton’s delicate, technical, and aesthetic role. It signals a bold new approach for the future of skeletonized high watchmaking. Transcending the ordinary, the timepiece continues to place the intricate dance of gears and mechanics on full display, while at the same time adding a new ingredient – supreme versatility.

With its bold, Pininfarina-led design, the APERTO 1 seamlessly blends past, present, and future. When briefing the world-renowned design house, BOVET owner Pascal Raffy requested Pininfarina’s designers to conceive a more versatile and modern interpretation of the age-old art of skeletonization, opening everything for all to see. He asked for simplicity, transparency and lightness to be expressed in a thoroughly contemporary aesthetic, emphasizing all-round usability, offering a high level of flexibility to the timepiece’s owner. The result is an exciting, almost playfully modern timepiece which pays homage to the open-work watchmaking genre while transforming the visual appeal of a skeletonized timepiece into a more robust expression, perfectly adapted to our modern-day environment. Extremely light, thanks to its grade 5 titanium case and well-sized at 42mm, the Aperto 1 is supremely comfortable on the wrist
